The journey begins at Plaza de Mayo, the political and historical heart of the city, where you’ll see the Presidential Palace (Casa Rosada), the Metropolitan Cathedral of Buenos Aires, and the colonial-era Cabildo of Buenos Aires.

From there, the tour continues through the revitalised waterfront district of Puerto Madero, before travelling along the city’s grand boulevards, including the impressive 9 de Julio Avenue, one of the widest avenues in the world, and May Avenue Buenos Aires, known for its European-style architecture. You’ll also pass the Argentine National Congress, an architectural highlight of the city.

The tour then explores the characterful neighbourhoods of San Telmo, famed for its cobbled streets and tango heritage, and La Boca, one of the city’s most vibrant districts. Here, you’ll encounter the colourful Caminito street, widely regarded as the birthplace of tango culture.
